Katie Simonsen drained five 3-pointers en route to scoring a game-high 19 points for the Lakers, who earned their way into the state tournament in a must-win South Coast Conference matchup on the road against the Blue Devils. ... Jade Rodrigues added 11 points and Callie Nee scored six of her nine points on 3-pointers. ... Jess Dubois and Ranee Roszkowicz did nice jobs on the boards that allowed the Lakers to push the ball and score some fast-break points. "Katie played her best game of the season and we shot the ball well on the perimeter, finishing with seven 3-pointers," Apponequet coach Trevor Gagnier said. "We won six of our last seven games and that's a credit to the patience that the kids showed. They took things one game at a time and didn't look too far ahead. We've made a lot of progress and we're really starting to jell as a team." ... Kay Mullen scored eight points to lead Fairhaven. ... The game was the regular-season finale for both teams. The Lakers finished 9-11 overall, but a pair of losses to Somerset Berkley did not count toward their state-tournament record and they were able to meet the MIAA's 50-percent winning standard with a 9-9 mark.

Ally Pontes scored 14 points and pulled down six rebounds for the Indians in a loss to the Green Wave in the championship game of the Mansfield Tournament. ... Lauren Pires finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds for Dartmouth, which stormed to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter and battled back from a 15-point deficit in the fourth to make things close down the stretch against a team that improved to 21-1. ... Riley McDonald scored all nine of her points on 3-pointers and Bailey Peach played a strong game on defense off the bench. ... Pontes and Pires were named to the all-tournament team.

The Lady Bulldogs were able to hang on down the stretch and hand the Spartans a season-ending loss in a hard-fought, non-conference matchup played in Dartmouth. ... Bishop Stang, which needed a win to meet the MIAA's 50-percent qualifying standard, finished 9-11 overall. Old Rochester wrapped up a 16-4 regular season.

Adam Carvalho, Tyler Viera and Nathan Dandurand each scored in different periods to lead the Bears (6-9-5, 3-5-2 SCC) to a victory in their season finale. ... Carvalho and Viera also recorded assists while Ben Jenkins recorded 22 saves in net for his first shutout of the season.
